So this blog has been sleeping for a while …

Thanks to my daughter's Bat Mitzvah, my Life Coach practicum, and assorted kinds of craziness, I've not posted here since mid-November. Oy vey. But now I'm back! Things have been ... interesting. The Bat Mitzvah was wonderful - there will be pictures. Having family and friends surround us with love was amazing, too. Then Shira … Continue reading So this blog has been sleeping for a while …

Talking About Identity

Last June, my amazing friends Kaila Prins and Ito Aghayere interviewed me on their podcast, Finding Our Hunger. This was in the early days of the podcast, which has gone on to include luminaries such as Jimmy Moore, Liz Wolfe, Stefani Ruper, Dietitian Cassie, Abel James and others. Kaila and Ito have been guests hosts … Continue reading Talking About Identity

Good-bye Facebook, Hello Pinterest/Instagram/All That Stuff

First of all, if you aren't interested in BlackBox, you will be delighted to know that I have created a newsletter for it, and will no longer be putting blatantly BlackBox stuff on the blog itself (although I will be making pages on the website).

Making the Newsletter, and also an eBook

But now I'm about to announce a new … Continue reading Announcing my New BlackBox Cosmetics Newsletter

I Saw the Lizard For Real – and a Newsletter Erratum

I went to a fabulous MoMonday event yesterday, organised by the lovely and accomplished Stephanie Staples. Sprawled across the stage, right in front of the speakers, was this giant stuffed lizard. I kid you not. You can read the newsletter I wrote about it here, but I wanted to make sure that you had the … Continue reading I Saw the Lizard For Real – and a Newsletter Erratum

I’m Not From Here

Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about belonging and disassociation, connection and disconnection. Also about eating disorders, about food and control and expectations. I wrote a piece about it in my newsletter. If you are interested in such things, you can check it out in the archives, and then sign up. Otherwise, bounce … Continue reading I’m Not From Here

Breaking the Streak, and Starting a New One

I broke my streak this week. I kept it up for 19 days, and as soon as I missed one day, I missed three. Funny how that works. But now I'm going again. What is it with streaks? Let me explain. My fabulous coach, Berni Xiong, has turned me on to a lovely site called … Continue reading Breaking the Streak, and Starting a New One
